In just a few quick and easy steps, you can have tender, juicy chicken right out of the oven. You probably won't miss the frying, and you definitely won't miss out on flavor!

Let's get started  »

Step 1 - Gather Ingredients

1 chicken, cut into pieces
2 egg whites or 1 whole egg
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs or panko
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tbsp. freshly chopped parsley
1/4 tsp. each garlic and onion powder
1/2 tsp. paprika (optional)
Flour, salt and pepper

Step 2 - Coat the Chicken

Wash chicken pieces and pat dry with a paper towel. Season chicken with salt and pepper and roll in flour to coat. Spray a 9"x13" baking pan with olive oil spray.

In a shallow dish, beat egg slightly. Add minced parsley to egg with a pinch of salt, pepper (and a sprinkle of garlic and onion powder). In a shallow pan, combine 1 cup crumbs/panko with 1 cup flour. Season the flour with salt and pepper, onion and garlic powder. Roll the chicken in the egg, then in the seasoned flour/crumb mixture, turning well to coat.

Step 3 - Bake It

Spray the chicken well with olive oil spray to moisten crumbs. Bake, in a preheated 350 degree oven, for about 1 hour or until chicken is tender, golden and cooked through.

Step 4 - Final

Serve and enjoy with mashed potatoes and gravy or other favorite side dishes!
